Networker directives

[JohnPlayerSpecial]

My problem is this:

I have few SAP-instances which are not using Online module and therefore I have to use normal savepnpc-backup to do the offline backup.

Now I want to create server side directive which only backups the following filesystems:

/oracle/XXX/ and all subdirectories
/oracle/XXX/sapdata1
/oracle/XXX/sapdata2
/oracle/XXX/sapdata3
/oracle/XXX/sapdata4
etc...

Those sapdatas are independent filesystems and not mounted under /oracle/XXX/

All the other filesystems should be skipped

So basically I want include all sapdatas automatically to backup even amount of sapdatas may rise. This ensures that I can restore complete database and I don't have to maintain the savesets manually.



Is this possible?

I would do it a bit different:

- specify /oracle/XXX as save set
- in a directive, exclude all but the satdatx directories

This would ensure that it it will not matter how many sapddatax directories will occur.

Thanks for your reply.

That will work except I will keep saveset as "All", because I have several instances with different SIDs so I can use it globally to keep everything as simple as possible.

I just figured how I can do the reverse backup which only backups normal filesystem data and skips these sap-related directories.

<< /oracle >>
+skip: /sapdata* *

That one also works on all instances.
